The production, which will be a concert version of the opera, will feature the cast from Dulaang UP’s own successful staging of this work, and marks its return to FEU after it premiered in the historic FEU Auditorium in 1957.

Directed by Alexander Cortez with musical direction by Camille Lopez Molina, it features some of the country’s brightest operatic talents including Ivan Nerry as Ibarra, Myramae Meneses as Maria Clara, Elaine Vibal as Sisa and Jonathan Velasco as Padre Damaso.

Admission is free.
